Abstract

© 2017 Walters et al. Metagenomic approaches are rapidly expanding our knowledge of the diversity of viruses. In the fecal matter of Nigerian chimpanzees we recovered three gokushovirus genomes, one circular replication-associated protein encoding singlestranded DNA virus (CRESS), and a CRESS DNA molecule.
